Standard equipment includes the BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology, eight-speed automatic transmission (six-speed manual also available), 6.5-inch color display with iDrive controller, Bluetooth, and automatic start/stop. The guide also goes more into depth about what to expect from each of the three optional “Line” design packages: Sport Line, Luxury Line, and Modern Line, with an easy-to-read chart describing exterior and interior features. An M Sport line will also be available, but not until July 2012, so details on the package haven't been released.A couple of other standout optional packages include the Technology package, which throws in a navigation system and head-up display, and a Premium Sound package that includes Sirius satellite radio.

Production has already started on the 328i and 335i earlier this week, but as initial dealer stock only. Each dealership will receive only three (two 328is, one 335i) before the February 11, 2012 retail launch. However, dealers are already taking orders for new Bimmers that will start production in January 2012.Take a look at the dealer guide here.
